benckie im filtering 8.5 times my tank an hour when i get bigger tanks im gonna over filter even more

external or internal ?

[jack]

only internal at the moment not worth getting a cannister for a 2.5 ft wana get 2 4ft tanks then ill bring in the cannisters

jack

[benckie]

well 10 times an hour internal is one thing but 10 times an hour presurised external canister is another when i talk about 10 times an hour i mean external canister as to reach the same afect imo you would have to use 50 times intrenal but you would blow your fish away, but in saying that im using 5 times an hour internals on my temp tb tanks but im doing water changes every 2 days and only have two fish in each tank . but jack if you talk to most people internal and external are two difrent things with two drifrent figgers and how tow difrent outcomes, and internals are more maintance imo. but your on the right tack and its great to know your 10xan hour on your tanks :wink: cheers shane
